The biggest problems I have seen for the tourist is the high pressure sales techniques of the street vendors. It's very hard to walk from your hotel to a beach or bus stop when every three steps someone is approaching you trying to sell you something.

I understand that these vendors are trying to make a living, but they need to learn to be less aggressive! People love to buy things, but they hate to be sold things! Let us browse your shops without being told what we should buy!

The only other problem I can think of is crime, but that's everywhere!

My answer only addresses the problems well seasoned tourists face, not the workings of the tourist industries.

I hope this helps. Thank you for letting me vent! :)

Tsunamis seem to cause some problems there.

I would guess one factor would be some people's association of South Asia with Islam or terrorism even though they are probably thinking about the Middle East.

Lack of infrastructure. Cleanliness or the lack of it. Beggars/touts, lack of proper management of heritage sites,
lack of proper training for tourist guides. Shortage of clean, safe budget hotels.

There are no attractions from South Asia, only thing people know is Bollywood.
